she spent 15% because 30 is 15% of 200

200x15%= 30

Answer:

30$ is 15% of 200$

Explanation:

To find how much percent Jennie spent let's first find how much one percent of $200 is.

∴200/100=2

so one percent of 200 is 2

now let's find how much percent 30$ is of 200$

30/2=15

meaning that 30$ is 15% of 200$
